China: Recipes and Cuisine

One of the world's oldest and greatest culinary traditions, Chinese cuisine centers on the Eight Great Traditions, regional styles that form the foundation of most Chinese cooking.

Pork and chicken are popular meats, along with a wide variety of seafood along the coast. Apart from that the Chinese have a strong Buddhist tradition of vegetarian cuisine as well. Stir frying is the most well known cooking method. Ingredients in most dishes are cut into bite-sized pieces to be eaten with chopsticks.
